KEITH KNOX insists his Stranraer side will go for Albion Rovers’ throats this afternoon as they look to seal promotion to Division Two.

The Blues lead 2-0 from the first leg but Knox will resist the temptation to sit on what they have and will demand his team attack at Cliftonhill.

It worked in the semi-final when two early goals at Hampden secured a 5-1 aggregate win over Queen’s Park and the Stair Park gaffer will adopt a similar approach tomorrow.

He said: “We know it’s still going to be a tough game. We’ve done the hard work by getting two goals in front, just as we did against Queen’s Park, but there’s no way we’ll go there and be over confident.

“We have to try and cause them problems. We’ll do what we did against Queen’s Park and that’s attack. That’s the way we play and we won’t change that.

“You know what you’re going to get when you go to Cliftonhill. They play to their strengths and everyone knows all about the pitch and stadium.

“But there is no way the facilities or park can be used as an excuse. We have players that can cause them problems. It’s in our hands and we’re 90 minutes away from achieving our aim at the start of the season.”

Albion Rovers were promoted via the play-offs last season to reach the third tier of Scottish football for the first time in over 20 years.

And boss Paul Martin – who is missing John Gemmell through suspension – reckons his side can claw back the deficit to remain there.

He said: “I thought Wednesday’s result was harsh on us but we must hope things go our way on Sunday.

“Winning promotion last season was massive for the club but survival would be brilliant.”
